And friends!

0:00:350:00:36

'Mummy, Fudge and I are going to meet a special friend today.

0:00:380:00:42

'I can't wait!

0:00:420:00:44

'Her name is Georgie.

0:00:440:00:46

'And she plays an instrument called the flute.'

0:00:460:00:49

-Exciting.

-MUSIC PLAYS

0:00:490:00:51

Ooh! Melody, what can you hear?

0:00:510:00:54

I can hear the clarinet.

0:00:540:00:56

SHE HUMS TUNE, LAUGHTER

0:00:560:00:58

Yeah, and...

0:00:580:00:59

-BOTH:

-The piano!

0:00:590:01:01

SHE HUMS TUNE

0:01:010:01:03

-And I think I can hear a flute.

0:01:030:01:06

-This way.

-Let's go!

LAUGHTER, FLUTE PLAYS

0:01:070:01:10

SHE PLAYS SLOW TUNE

0:01:100:01:13

'This is Georgie and her flute.'

0:01:130:01:15

-Hiya.

-Hi!

-Hello.

0:01:150:01:17

Hello, Georgie. Thank you for seeing us.

0:01:170:01:20

Could you tell us a little bit about the flute?

0:01:200:01:23

My flute is a member of the woodwind family.

0:01:230:01:25

Woodwind families, we blow through our instruments to make them play.

0:01:250:01:30

A string family, they bow the strings.

0:01:300:01:32

We blow through our head joints to make a sound.

0:01:320:01:35

It's from the woodwind family, but it's not made of wood?

0:01:350:01:38

No, they all used to be made of wood,

0:01:380:01:41

but now they are made of metal instead.

0:01:410:01:44

-There's little additions, like holes in keys.

-Oh!

0:01:440:01:47

Before, it would be holes in the wood

0:01:470:01:49

and it would be like a recorder.

0:01:490:01:51

Could you tell us about the different parts?

0:01:510:01:54

It looks like it's in sections.

0:01:540:01:56

When I put it together, it's usually in three sections.

0:01:560:01:59

-We've got the head joint.

-It came off!

-I think it's

0:01:590:02:02

the most important, cos this where you can blow and make sound.

0:02:020:02:06

-Sound travels through.

-If I blow through it,

0:02:060:02:09

I'll make a sound just using this part.

0:02:090:02:12

SHE PLAYS FUNNY TUNE

MELODY LAUGHS

0:02:130:02:14

-Can I have a go?

-Yeah, sure.

-That would be OK, yeah?

-That's fine.

0:02:140:02:18

'Georgie lets me play!

0:02:180:02:20

'I haven't played the flute before! Wish me luck, Fudge.'

0:02:200:02:23

Blowing across a plastic bottle.

0:02:230:02:25

-That's perfect!

-Oh!

0:02:250:02:27

-That was brilliant.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-That's OK.

0:02:270:02:30

The biggest part is the body of the instrument.

0:02:300:02:33

They've got all the keys, which make all the different notes.

0:02:330:02:37

If I start on a high note, which is one note,

0:02:370:02:40

as I put more keys down, the sound gets lower and lower.

0:02:400:02:43

-The higher up the flute, the higher the note?

-Yeah.

0:02:430:02:46

'I love feeling all the different buttons on the flute.'

0:02:460:02:50

This part here, this is the foot joint.

0:02:500:02:52

There's even more buttons, which will make it go even lower.

0:02:520:02:56

When we came in, we heard you playing and it sounded quite sad.

0:02:560:03:00

-The mood was sad. Are there other moods you can create?

-Yeah.

0:03:000:03:03

-When I play higher, I can make it sound nice, jolly and happy.

-Ah!

0:03:030:03:07

I can play a trill, which usually makes things sound bouncy and fun.

0:03:070:03:11

I can give you an example of that.

0:03:110:03:13

-Brilliant.

-Yes, please.

0:03:130:03:15

SHE PLAYS HAPPY TUNE

0:03:150:03:17

That was fun!

0:03:210:03:22

There's also more mysterious sounds you get in the middle register.

0:03:220:03:27

-Mm-hm.

-Some people think "flute", and think fairy, fun,

0:03:270:03:30

-happy and jolly.

-Yeah.

-But it's mysterious sounding, as well.

0:03:300:03:34

-If I give you a mysterious sound, then a sad one.

-Yes, please.

0:03:340:03:38

SHE PLAYS MYSTERIOUS TUNE

0:03:390:03:41

Oh, that was very mysterious!

0:03:470:03:49

-Very spooky, wasn't it? Is there a sad one?

-Sad.

0:03:490:03:53

As I go lower, I tend to get quite sad.

0:03:530:03:57

SHE PLAYS SAD TUNE

0:03:570:03:59

-That made Fudge really sad.

-Oh, dear. Really sad.

0:04:040:04:07

We've got to go, because Georgie's got to get ready for the recital.

0:04:070:04:11

-And we've got to find our friends.

-OK. Good luck.

0:04:110:04:14

-Thank you.

-Thanks again. Bye.

0:04:190:04:23

'My friends are here to watch the performance with me.

0:04:300:04:33

'I can't wait to hear what the music makes them think of.'

0:04:330:04:37

Are you excited to listen to the music?

0:04:370:04:39

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Remember, when you listen,

0:04:390:04:42

it's fun if you use your imagination.

0:04:420:04:44

I wonder what it will make you think of.

0:04:440:04:46

'Georgie will be playing as part of an orchestra.

0:04:480:04:52

'There are lots of different instruments in the orchestra.

0:04:520:04:55

'And there's John, the conductor.'

0:04:550:04:58

Hello, everybody.

0:04:580:04:59

We're going to play a piece by Debussy

0:04:590:05:01

called L'apres-midi d'un faune. I hope you enjoy it.

0:05:010:05:05

'The show is about to begin!

0:05:070:05:09

'I'm so excited! I can't wait!'

0:05:090:05:11

SHE PLAYS MYSTERIOUS TUNE

There's a girl walking in the desert.

0:06:100:06:14

She has a long journey to take.

0:06:180:06:20

SHE GASPS There's something in the distance!

0:06:230:06:26

I wonder what it is.

0:06:260:06:28

It's a lamp.

0:06:310:06:32

The girl gives it a polish.

0:06:360:06:38

It could be perfect for her tea.

an easier way to travel across the desert.

0:07:170:07:20

The genie uses his magic

0:07:200:07:22

to make the girl a flying carpet.

0:07:220:07:24

She is very thirsty.

who does she want to be her friend?

She wants the genie to be her friend!

0:09:220:09:24

GENIE MIAOWS But only if he would like that, too.

0:09:240:09:27

'We go to meet our friends again

'to hear what the music makes them think of.'

-BOTH:

Hello! So, did you enjoy listening to the orchestra?

0:10:290:10:32

-ALL:

-Yes.

0:10:320:10:33

We were wondering what the music made you think of.

0:10:330:10:36

It made me think of someone on a horse

0:10:550:10:58

going to a village

0:10:580:11:00

and pretending to be good.

0:11:000:11:02

-CROWD CHEER

-But he was actually really bad

to the people there.

HORSE WHINNIES

0:11:090:11:11

That made me think of

0:11:110:11:13

a boy and he was only ten,

0:11:130:11:16

but he knew one of his friends was stuck in the desert,

0:11:160:11:20

so he had to...

0:11:200:11:22

-ROPE STRETCHES

-..go and get him back.

ROPE STRETCHES

So there's this princess and she's dancing around.

0:11:290:11:32

And she doesn't know that

0:11:320:11:34

-there's this witch in this place.

-Oh!

0:11:340:11:36

And the witch is making a spell.

0:11:360:11:39

ORCHESTRA PLAYS

0:11:390:11:41

The music makes me think of

0:11:450:11:48

these multicoloured fish.

0:11:480:11:50

And when they blow bubbles,

0:11:500:11:53

it makes these magical lands.

0:11:530:11:57

ORCHESTRA PLAYS

0:11:570:11:59

I saw one where it is bananas

0:11:590:12:01

-that can make you turn invisible.

-MONKEY CHATTERS

0:12:010:12:04

And grass that tastes like liquorice.

0:12:070:12:08

-We love liquorice, don't we?

-Yes!

-That would be nice. Fudge does, too.

0:12:080:12:13

Fantastic. Shall we listen to the next section

0:12:130:12:16

-and see if we can see anything different?

-Yeah.

0:12:160:12:18

I'm excited. You've got good imaginations.

0:12:180:12:21

0:12:210:12:25

Judah, what does that piece of music make you think of?

0:12:250:12:29

A person stranded in the desert.

0:12:290:12:31

But then he finds this magical golden palace.

0:12:310:12:35

ORCHESTRA PLAYS

0:12:350:12:38

Fudge has a good imagination.

0:12:380:12:40

-Did he? Ooh.

-He's going to tell me now about it.

0:12:400:12:44

'Fudge tiptoes in a castle,

0:12:440:12:46

'because he can smell cat food.'

0:12:460:12:48

CREAKING

0:12:510:12:54

'And every time the cymbal dinged, he had to stop.'

0:12:540:12:58

-It was like a booby trap that had bells and they stopped.

-Oh!

0:12:580:13:02

And then again. And they stopped. And again. And they stopped.

0:13:020:13:06

He actually got it in the end. BELL DINGS

-You're welcome!

-Good job. Thank you, everybody.

0:13:140:13:17

You've been brilliant at sharing your imaginations.

0:13:170:13:20

We've got to go now.

0:13:200:13:21

-But we'll see you soon.

-ALL:

-Bye!

0:13:210:13:24

So, did you like the ideas the other children had, Melody?

0:13:270:13:30

Yes, I loved them! They were all amazing!

0:13:300:13:34

Remember, the same piece of music can mean lots of different things

0:13:340:13:38

-to different people.

-Can I listen to it again, please?

0:13:380:13:41

Course you can.

0:13:410:13:43

There you are.

0:13:450:13:47

That music made me think of a girl who made friends with a genie.

0:13:470:13:52

What did it make you think of?
